Testing schedule for the week

Daily:

After-hours access:

Participants with a valid badge will have access to the Connectathon Floor...

Daily 'need to know' announcements

The Connectathon venue makes oral announcements impractical.

Please check your email at 9am and 1:30pm each day. We will send twice-daily "need to know" announcements to the na_connectathon email list.

Seating Assignments

-- Seating assignments - There are two tabs in this spreadsheet. On the first tab, each cell represents one table with two chairs; table locations are identified by a letter/number, eg L28. The second tab shows seating assignments sorted by Organization. You can use the spreadsheet now for a table location if you need to ship something or order services. Your table location will also be entered in Gazelle before the end of the calendar year (2017). This will show up for you and your partners as you are running tests.

Guidance for Monday's session

We hope you've already reviewed the 10 Connectathon Tips from the Pros.

Monday 7:30-10am is for system set-up.  After 10am, we expect you to perform testing. Here is guidance on goals to accomplish during Monday's testing session:

• Configure and connect to tools for your profiles.
• Complete the 5-minute Consistent Time "CT_Client" test
• Content Creators -- submit CDA/C-CDA docs into the samples area of gazelle for evaluation
• Modalities/Evidence Creators -- submit DICOM samples into gazelle and the Central Archive
• Submit media you create to the assigned Monitor -->  give XDM and PDI media to monitor Dawn Schwartz at table N22
• It is good practice to hand a monitor your media rather than just dropping it at the table.
• Any other tests labeled "*_Do_This_First" or "*_Read_This_First"
• In general, work on other no-peer tests.
• Then, move on to peer-to-peer tests.

The tools listed in the table below are considered as backups or possibly experimental.

Experimental: A tool is in development. We may ask you for your help in running a few tests to examine the behavior of our testing software.
